Hegel P20 Pre Amplifier – Balanced Pre Amplifier
The P20 is Hegel’s entry-level preamplifier and offers an affordable door into the Hegel Reference line of products.
Designing the P20 was not a task Hegel took lightly. Many of the ideas and concepts were taken from its bigger brother. Although scaled down, many of the good characteristics remain: the enormous soundstage, the deep rhythmic bass response, the perfect timing… In short, the sense of being there with the performers.
The P20 comes with a high-quality system remote control, milled out of one solid piece of aluminium. It has the same bead blasted and anodized surface finish as the preamplifier itself. You can really feel the quality of each part of the P20; not only hear it. There is a total of 5 regular inputs. Both balanced and unbalanced. In addition, a special Home Theatre input allows integration in Home Theatre systems. Finally, there are both balanced and unbalanced outputs as well as a fixed line-level output.
The idea behind the P20 was, as mentioned, to offer a more affordable entry into our line of separates. But most of all, it was to set a new standard of price and performance in preamplifiers. Something we think Hegel have achieved. The preamplifier is perhaps the most delicate unit in a sound system. Because the signal levels are so low, even the tiniest levels of noise or distortion smear the image and mask the small details that enliven the music.
In designing the P20, Hegel achieved the highest quality of sound at such a low price point by using brand new technologies, such as Silicon Germanium transistors. In addition, Hegel implemented high-frequency components that were not originally designed for audio, and use them in ways that had never been done before. The result is an open and natural sounding preamplifier at a very competitive price.

Hegel P30 Pre-Amplifier

Hegel P30 Pre Amplifier – Balanced Pre Amplifier w/SoundEngine
The P30 is the best preamplifier ever developed by Hegel. With its patented technology and hand matched components, the P30 is a confident contender in the race towards being the best preamplifier in the world. Regardless of price.
Despite what many hi-fi enthusiasts believe, preamplifiers are actually one of the most difficult audio components to develop. At the same time, it is one of the most important components in a well-sounding system. The reason is that the signal strength is very low when entering the preamplifier, and is therefore very susceptible to high-frequency noise and distortion elements. The most critical phase in the preamplifier is the volume regulation, and in the P30 this is a masterpiece in itself. The physical volume control knob is only used to describe the desired volume output level to the array of Gigahertz MOS-transistors. These direct the music signal through a network of high-quality resistors that reduce the signal level.
After the volume control circuit, the signal is directed through the amplification circuit. For the first time ever Hegel is using the patented SoundEngine technology in the preamplifier. Combined with Hegel’s use of hand-matched FET transistors, this results in unsurpassed levels of musical distortion and noise. In total, the music signal will only pass through 2 transistors and between 1 to 3 resistors on its way through the P30. The sound you hear from the P30 can only be described as organic and very natural. To quote a journalist; “The Hegel sounds so much more natural than my previous reference. And it does so without flashing itself with gold and diamonds”.
The Hegel P30 has 2 pairs of balanced inputs (XLR) and 3 regular unbalanced (RCA). In addition to this, it has a Home Theatre input that allows you to integrate it into a Home Theatre system. The P30 also has a 3,5 mm IR-direct input and a 12V trigger output connector. The Hegel P30 is available in both silver and black finish, so it can be matched with both the H30 and H20 power amplifiers.

LINE MAGNETIC LM-512CA
LINE MAGNETIC LM-512CA
LM-512CA – Preamplifier – With 6KZ8, 6922 & RCA 22DE4
The LM-512CA received in March 2017 a Red Dot Award, a German award recognized as the Oscar of International Industrial Design.
The integrated preamplifier LM-512CA operates with 3 pairs of tubes. A large volume potentiometer sits in the centre of the front panel allowing independent adjustment of each of the two channels.
It has a balanced XLR, 3 RCA inputs and also RCA and XLR outputs.
The Balance phase selection allows choosing the selection between American phase and British phase input Mode.
The use of high-quality components (Multicap, BC Axial, Philips, Panasonic Relay) wired in the air, for the most part, is the guarantee of exemplary reliability.
Its transformers output are of EI type, specially designed for power supply.
Finish: Silver

LUXMAN C-700u
LUXMAN C-700u
Exquisite sound, flagship pedigree. A dream come true.
The C-700u control amplifier is our new middle of the range model that inherits some of our magnificent innovations, seen in our high end model, the C-900u, including our latest ODNF version 4.0 circuit, with significantly improved distortion characteristics and signal to noise performance and our new LECUA 1000, a computerized attenuator directly connected to the amplifier circuit, which enables smooth volume changes without any deterioration of sound quality. We are pursuing the concept of a simple and high quality control amplifier, exclusively designed for line level signals. What is more, this unit is also multifunctional, the loudness function interacting with the volume and tone controls, external pre-input connectivity and a fluorescent display with zoom and dimmer controls. Features like these make the C-700u suitable for the control center of your system, a new-generation of control amplifier, displaying performance consistent with high level functionality.

LUXMAN C-900u
LUXMAN C-900u
Designed for supreme tonal quality
LUXMAN’s pursuit of the uppermost standards of tonal quality has lead to the creation of the C-900u. Four independent modules in the balanced amplification circuit enable the hot and cold components of the left and right audio signals to be handled independently to suppress unnecessary noise generation. Combining an evolved version 4.0 of our traditional ODNF circuit and a robust power supply has achieved high signal-to-noise performance and improved sound quality without distortion. LUXMAN’s original LECUA 1000, a stepped fixed resistance attenuator, is used for the volume adjustment system, a major feature of this new control amplifier. The 88 step range allows for more precise volume adjustment. This product is an appropriate centerpiece for any modern hifi system due to its elegant design, user friendly features, refined tone controls, premium tactile operation, and more.
